Poaching eggs with espresso steam

Here's what I'm currently working on... full video to be shot live on monday.

An espresso machine makes the best poached eggs, because the steam wand is able to keep a gentle whirlpool going during the entire egg cooking process, while traditional cooking methods cannot.

Recipe:
- Set your DE1 to "two tap steam stop" (important!)
- 1/3rd fill a fairly large pot with cold water
- Steam heat the water to 95ºC, while perfecting your whirlpool
- Stop the steam
- Break a raw egg in the center
- Let the "two tap steam stop" continue to slowly circulate the water
- Cook egg for 3 minutes
- Serve
